Hello,

I'd like to point a single directory ( http://www.mydomain.com/directory/ ) to another IP. Is this possible ?

I'm using CPanel

Thanks! :D

Yes, Look under the "Redirects" option in cpanel. It should take both a domain name or ip address.

yea but actually Redirects wont work as I want to do round robin DNS, so pointing is the only way :S

afaik, pointing a directory to a different ip using A record(i thk u want it this way?) is impossible

y not a subdomain? it should work fine

Search www.apache.org for .htaccess Redirect or mod_rewrite

Should you get lost through the swamp of search results, reply here and I'm sure one of the other WHTers will link you to the correct documentation.

If the other site is on the same server, you could make a symbolic link (ln -s /home/.../directory /home/.../other_site

Good Luck,

Let me clarify this more plz,

I need to balance load on this directory over 2 servers. I need to point it through A record to work, But no idea how to do so.

How can I do this lwknet ?

sorry but the only thing i can say is NO

A records are supplied by the DNS server upon any request by (most probably) browsers, since the browsers do not send the "path elements" together with the "host" to the DNS server, that's no way you can get different A records by different directries, so..for
ht tp://domain.com/dir/page.html

the DNS server only knows domain.com but not "dir" nor "dir/page.html"

if only way seems to be redirect

correct me if i'm wrong
